SAI ADVANCED AYURVEDIC PRACTITIONER

Our Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner program (former Doctor of Ayurveda) is a 16-month hybrid course offering extensive, in-depth education, and relevant clinical experience in all eight branches of Ayurvedic medicine.  Graduates from this program will understand disease from an Ayurvedic perspective and will have a working knowledge of Western medical pathology, pharmacology, diagnoses, and treatment, sufficient to correlate with the practice of Ayurveda.

This program is a continuation of our second-year course, offering the highest level of ayurvedic education and training available outside India.

Our Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner program includes:

• Combination of presential and online classes via Zoom.
• Classes held every month during a complete weekend: Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm EST.
• Development of comprehensive clinical cases supervised by our faculty.
• Access to our Educational Platform which provides additional resources and guidance to complement your learning experience.
• Students completing the third-year program will be awarded the distinction of Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner certification and will be eligible for professional registration with the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) and the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals in North America (AAPNA).
• Students will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and gain clinical experience attending our three-week internship in India - fees not included in tuition.
